Peruvian Empanada from Las Cholas

myeverydayeats
This morning I went to El Corte Inglés Supermercado.

There are so many good stuffs. I bought two bottles of wine, sushi rice, snack and salmon roe today. Next time I would like to try Guanciale and smoked salmon.

In front of the supermarket, there is a little stand for Peruvian Empanadas. I decided to try 4 kinds and Alfajor.

I was waiting for a bus but even a single bus didn’t come through. After 20 minute-wait, I switched to Metro.

Empanada time @ 11:40 a.m.

Left top to right: Spinach & cheese, tuna & tomato, eggplant & quinoa, duck & orange

I like duck and quinoa best.

Tried salmon roe too.

Lunch @ 2:40 p.m., Salmon roe itself doesn’t take like Japanese one because it’s much smaller and slightly sour. However, it becomes totally Japanese once adding wasabi and nori 🙂

I love Alfajor! So soft and perfectly sweet.

Dessert & Tea @ A Brasileira, This place was opened in 1905 and started selling a cup of cafe espresso. In Lisbon, cafe is called BICA standing for “Beba Isto Com Açúcar = Drink this with sugar.” We had the original BICA too.

We moved to a rooftop cafe to continue chatting…
